1. Introduction
Effective leadership is best practiced when clear policies, procedures and achievements are emphasized through careful planning and implementation of well thought-out, rational decision-making. In the symbolic/artistic paradigm, effective leadership is best practiced when the leader helps the organization build meaning and commitment through a shared culture shaped by history, values and vision. Deal and Peterson make the case that the two approaches are not necessarily exclusive of each other. In fact, they assert that it is only by being a bifocal leader, one who manages well while still keeping in mind the symbolic meaning attached to each activity, that educational leaders are able to realize their best potential.
